Long-Sleeved Mini Dress

There are times when I think the LBD gets a bit too much praise. Sure it can go with anything, be dressed up with a few well-placed accessories, but I much prefer a long-sleeved mini dress (I suppose the acronym LSMD just doesn't have the same ring). I found this dress on sale last week at Intermix and knew it would be the perfect party dress to get me through the holidays. The fabric is just clingy enough and surprisingly warm, so with tights I can get away without wearing a coat; at least in California.
